The Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Egypt - Sarcophagus of Ashait

SARCOPHAGUS OF ASHAIT (DETAILS)

The interior decoration of the sarcophagus is painted in vivid colors and reproduces scenes of a palace life nearly identical to the carvings in sunk relief on the exterior. In the first scene, Ashait has coarse features and a stout figure. She is depicted sniffing lotuses, the symbol of life, while an attendant fans her and another presents a duck.
